DBA Managed Services


Overview


DBA Managed Services (DBAMS) is a new variation if the already existing remote DBA concept. That's where the similarities end. DBAMS goes beyond the databases and covers the entire user experience of any application.

The basic concept of a remote DBA support is to lower the cost of database administration. Traditionally, remote DBA support was offered to large enterprise corporations with entire teams of DBAs. The goal was to do the same at a lower cost. This is just another form of outsourcing.

The DBA Managed Services approach has a completely different target market. DBAMS is geared towards small and medium businesses that have a one or more applications running on one or more servers. On the surface, these applications seem to have nothing in common with any DBA needs at all. That's why the sole focus on databases provide a false sense of security and do not provide the full coverage SMB need to stay competitive.

This perception quickly changes in a crisis situation when data loss is occurring and these small and medium businesses are on the brink of disaster. Good luck in finding database experts in the Yellow Pages. Even if you find a database expert, what could this expert do without the in-depth information about how your system should look like.

As a SMB owner you should ask yourself these couple of questions, and if you have any doubts about only one of these questions, you probably need DBAMS.

  • Do you know if your database backups are working in a crisis situation?

  • Are you sure that the supplied "database maintenance" scripts of the application(s) you're using are working and doing their job?

  • Do you really need to buy this new expensive hardware because your staff is reporting that the application is slow?

Concept


DBA Managed Services is essentially an insurance policy for small and medium sized businesses. Several levels of services cover almost all database needs and budget constraints.

All levels of the DBAMS are built on top of several common components. The foundation of a successful DBAMS implementation is a complete and comprehensive database and system assessment. This assessment document serves as disaster recovery guide, fundamental system information for any DBA task performed on the system(s) and as a baseline for future system enhances.

Rock solid monitoring is essential to catch small issues before they become a huge problem. That's why we offer SmartScore Infrastructure monitoring with all levels of DBAMS. There is also a monitoring only option that will provide 24/7 monitoring of your applications. This is the most cost effective solution.
